It's actually a safeguard to ensure all kittens are dispatched. If the nose wheel does not do the job, and the kitten is flung upward and outward, the razor sharp fin will ensure success.

They had to come up with a replacement for their snarky "bags fly free" campaign.

Apparently this is the best they could do.

Not only to do they save fuel and protect kittens, those are actually wing mounted carbon footprint offsets that are preventing global warming.

As if Southwest invented and has a f'n patent on them so they can sell cheaper tickets! I guess Southwest believes the traveling public is stupid enough to think everybody else's winglets don't work the same way.
Gimme a break!
